Fall 2024 - This class was frustrating at first but ended up okay. Your grade will 100% will depend on your TA. Class consisted of in person lectures monday, async lectures wednesday, and your respective discussion section. Grade was based on 25% section participation, 25% creative project, 25% "Quiz 1", and 25% "Quiz 2 Essay". Section participation was decided upon by your TA- mine did weekly groups in discussion where you would spend a few minutes collecting notes and turned them in- very easy if you show up. Creative project was part creative project and part short essay- easy if you have a kind TA. Quiz #2 ended up being a short essay which was graded by your TA, but quiz 1 was INSANE. It consisted of 5 MCQ and 15 (FIFTEEN) short answer questions where you had to site one of the readings of lectures in each one and provide significant analysis for your answer. This means fifteen 200ish word answers with evidence you had to find on the spot which was extremely time consuming and taxing (took students about 5-6 hours on average) and you essentially had to do it in one sitting. Ended up being a chill class even though that quiz was insane, cool subject but the prof. is definitely a bit extreme with pushing her own material and ideas through the class but it was cool to learn about as a whole.

Fall 2024 - This class is very lax, but to the point where it's so relaxed that you never really know what's going on. The TA's were all over the place, some giving work while other didn't at all. This is one of those classes that are super easy but it's just annoying since it is so unorganized. With that said tho there is hardly any work, just a quiz, a creative paper then a final paper of 3 pages max. Material is interesting so none of the papers were ever hard to write. Johnson is super nice and passionate about her work so there's that as well.
